Sustainability and Life Cycle Analysis in Medical Devices
Sustainability evaluates and applies best practices to increase efficiency, reduce waste, reduce energy and water use, and create better products. Moreover, the environmental impact of a product is assessed at all stages of its life cycle. It includes the extraction and processing of raw materials, production, distribution, use, recycling, and final waste. LCA (Life Cycle […]
Mobility Aid: Advancements in Wheelchairs
Over the past few decades, wheelchairs have made tremendous advances. The development of powered wheelchairs has been a tremendous accomplishment as it has substantially increased the mobility of people who are unlikely to have the cardiovascular strength or motor function for manual operation. Furthermore, the incorporation of digital technologies, 3D-printed components, and smart seating systems […]
Protein Replacement Therapy for Rare Disease
Protein Replacement Therapy (PRT) is an innovative approach in rare diseases that addresses the missing protein in patients suffering from rare conditions. Rare diseases, often referred to as orphan diseases, are medical conditions that affect a small percentage of the population, typically fewer than 200,000 individuals in the United States and an almost equivalent number in other countries. […]
Advancements and Trends in Dialysis
The global dialysis trends market is currently valued at around $84 billion and is expected to grow to $98 billion by 2025. The increasing prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD), currently estimated to affect around 850 million people worldwide, is a key driver of this growth. CKD is a major public health problem due to […]
Plasma-derived Therapeutics: Solutions For Untreatable Conditions
The human body is a complex marvel of biological systems that offer incredible potential for therapeutic discovery. Plasma, the liquid part of blood, is a rich source of essential proteins and other components with remarkable therapeutic properties. To create plasma-derived therapeutics, the process begins with the collection of plasma from volunteer donors who undergo extensive […]
